Chula Vista students to receive free summer meals

About 500 Chula Vista children will receive free breakfasts, lunches or snacks this summer through a program run by the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The meals will be offered weekdays from June 4 to 29 at five sites around the city.

Paid for by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the meals are for children 18 years old and younger. The school district will prepare the food, which will consist of such items as pizza, chicken patties, fruit and milk, said Jeffrey Landers, director of Child Nutrition Services for the school district.

"This is another opportunity for us to feed the needy during the summer program," Landers said.
